I have a beautiful 30-06 that usually take out on walks here in Alaska, but lately ive been eyeing the stainless steel 47-50 guide guns. The aperture sights would be perfect for hunting around here as shots are usually from (much) less than 100 yards.
I think i could justify doing it, if I could tell myself that this could be my new walk around gun for brownies and also be able to take deer with the same round.
Is that possible? I handload for the 30-06 and 357 and am used to lead bullets and such so i was thinking about gas checked 400-500 gr bullets loaded pretty stoutly.
I think that they would penetrate deeply into bear, but im worried they might decimate a little sitka black tailed deer.
What is thehighroad thoughts on this? Am i trying to have one bullet do too much
